(A) Mean estimated ‘counts’ ( ×105 ± SEM) of 20 bacterial taxa in 266 subgingival plaque samples obtained from eight periodontally healthy people and 11 patients with periodontitis. The species were ordered according to mean counts. Taxa in black represent cultivated species, whereas those in orange represent uncultivated taxa. (B) Mean estimated ‘counts’ (× 105 ± SEM) of 20 bacterial taxa in 266 samples obtained from eight periodontally healthy people (green) and 11 patients with periodontitis (red). The species were ordered according to mean counts in health. Taxa in black represent cultivated species, while those in orange represent uncultivated taxa.
